The Fate of Eternal Life

Chapter 117 The Azure Emperor Takes the Divine Pill with a Single Thought to Suppress the Holy Spirit in Chaotic Battle
There have long been rumors that the Immortal Transformation Pool and the Ancient Dragon's Lair contain dream-level divine essence, comparable to the elixir of immortality, which may have transformed into human form.

Now, from the depths of the ancient dragon's lair, a supreme aura burst forth, instantly terrifying everyone into trembling fear, as they thought another quasi-emperor was about to meet with misfortune, causing everyone to sigh in despair.

"Damn it, there's such a monster hiding in Zhongzhou!"

"Heaven is unjust! We, the myriad races, barely escaped the great calamity and were brought to this world only to be slaughtered at will!"

Even the newly born red-haired monster remained motionless, looking with great apprehension into the depths of the ancient dragon's lair.

Meanwhile, in the Immortal Transformation Pool, everyone was vying for the green copper block.

"Amitabha! I have been destined to have it in both my past and present lives!" Duan De made his move, a broken bowl above his head, from which thousands of strands of dark light fell.

"How dare you! This is the most precious treasure of my Central Plains!" Several emperors from the four great dynasties turned red with rage and unleashed their earth-shattering divine techniques.

"This aura... could it be the celestial cauldron of the ancient Heavenly Court! When our ancient races were born, this treasure also appeared, and it should rightfully belong to us!"

Some of the ancient races recognized it and suspected that the green bronze block was related to a legendary cauldron, which almost drove them mad.

Outside the Immortal Ascension Pool, everyone was fighting to the death, all vying for this treasure. It was connected to immortality and might very well contain the secret to achieving immortality!
Before the ancient dragon's lair, the red-haired monster finally lost control of its bloodlust and began to wreak havoc, no longer heeding the emanating from within the ancient dragon's lair!
"boom!"

The red-haired creature charged past, and a large, red-haired claw ripped off their skulls, splattering their brains everywhere. In an instant, eighteen half-step powerful beings died.

"what!"

One of the powerful figures from the ancient clan let out a scream as half of his body was torn off, blood gushing out, his death exceptionally gruesome.

This sent chills down everyone's spine.

"It's him, the third-generation Source Celestial Master of the Eastern Wilderness. He met with misfortune in his later years and was buried in the Eternal Dragon's Lair in the Qinling Mountains. He ended up like this!" Someone who knew the secret shouted out.

"Such speed! It's about to reach the Saint level!" The Dao-Slaying King of the Ancient Clan looked solemn, knowing how terrifying his opponent was.

"Let's work together, or we'll cause a disaster!"

The ancient races could no longer remain calm. No longer caring about potentially provoking the beings in the ancient dragon's lair, they all made their move.

"boom!"

Various divine arts and weapons flew out, weaving together a sea of ​​laws, aiming to kill the red-haired monster alive at the cave entrance.

The third-generation Yuan Tian Master was truly ferocious. He transformed into a streak of blood-red light and clashed head-on with various divine techniques and weapons. Soon, the sounds of weapons shattering and the screams of powerful figures could be heard.

"boom!"

The Golden Goddess has made her move, and the red-haired monster, thirsting for blood, has naturally set his sights on the best among them: the daughters of the ancient emperors!
Her methods are extraordinary, her skills are amazing, her golden arts are unparalleled, and the blood in her body is like a thunderous tsunami!
However, the Golden Arts were useless against the red-haired monster, only hindering him for a moment before he broke through.

"Princess, be careful!"

The King of Slaying the Dao of the Golden Cave made a move to prevent the Heavenly Maiden from being injured, but he never expected that the humanoid red-haired creature would turn around, spread its five fingers, and freeze him in place.

"what……"

He screamed in agony as his heart was ripped out, pounding in the red-haired giant claws, where it was bitten to pieces and swallowed.

The Golden Goddess was furious. She clasped her hands together in a strange gesture, her hands resembling crystal bottles. With a deafening roar, the heavens and earth shattered!
A golden celestial light flew out from the crystal bottle, its terrifying destructive power so swift that it engulfed everything without regard for collateral damage.

"Golden Immortal Light! The forbidden secret technique of the Ancient Emperor!" Some members of the ancient clans paled and immediately retreated.

This is a secret technique that the ancient emperor comprehended before his death. It surpasses the laws of the mortal world. If an ancient emperor were to use it, it would surely produce wisps of immortal power.

"boom!"

The humans and ancient races struck by the divine light were all blown apart. Before they could even let out a scream, they were all annihilated, their bodies and souls destroyed.

However, the red-haired monster avoided it. It seemed to be in harmony with the heavens and actually used the power of the dragon vein to appear under the Immortal Transformation Pool.

"Only a saint could defeat him!" someone sighed.

"It's hateful that the ancient royal children don't have the protection of their ancestral king!" Someone stared at the ancient royal children, as if expecting something.

However, none of the ancient emperor's children attacked. Instead, they watched with solemn expressions as the red-haired monster wreaked havoc beneath another giant mountain, making no move.

"Let them deal with it, we'll continue our search for the Dream-grade Divine Essence."

Seeing the blame being shifted eastward, some people sneered and continued rushing towards the ancient dragon's lair. They suspected that the aura just now was not from a quasi-emperor, but rather from the activation of the Dreamlike Sacrifice Divine Essence, which emitted its own energy.

If it's true, this Dream Sacrifice Essence might really be comparable to an immortal elixir!

The thought of this ignited everyone's enthusiasm, and many experts immediately ventured into the fray.

Ning Qingyi watched with a solemn expression, while the many ancient royal children who had fought alongside him also joined the battlefield to vie for the treasures.

"Noisy!"

Suddenly, a loud shout rang out from the ancient dragon's lair in the mountain, as if an unparalleled being had been awakened from its slumber, emitting a terrifying wave of energy like a vast ocean.

Soon, a group of people emerged from the dragon cave, covered in dust and dirt, with many showing signs of fear.

"Back off quickly, something's strange!"

"Boom!"

Soon, an ancient chariot rushed out, no more than a foot tall, pulled by a small purple Qilin that was more than a foot long, with a small blue dragon that was more than a foot long coiled on top, and a crimson phoenix that was more than half a foot long flying behind it.

In addition, seven or eight tiny figures, each about half a foot tall, led the way. They were all different colors and looked like jade carvings, running quickly ahead.

On the ancient war chariot stood a humanoid being over a foot tall, exuding the aura of a half-saint, surrounded by one hundred and eight divine halos, who roared: "How dare you offend my clan's Great Emperor! What is your punishment!"

"The Great Emperor!?" A young expert exclaimed in disbelief.

"Could this also be a forbidden zone for life?!" A fear appeared in the eyes of an expert from an ancient clan.

No one believed that anyone in this world had already attained enlightenment. All the ancient races had experienced the era when ancient emperors attained enlightenment, and they knew what the myriad paths would be like when ancient emperors were around.

“There really is a quasi-emperor!” Before anyone knew it, the Divine Silkworm Daoist appeared beside Ning Qingyi.

Ning Qing glanced at him: "How is the princess?"

"Thank you. She has fully recovered from her injuries and is now wandering in the Western Desert," the Divine Silkworm Daoist sighed, then added, "It's a pity that the Fighting Saint King refuses to descend the mountain..."

Ning Qingyi said, "It is a great fortune to meet again after countless ages, so why force it?"

The Divine Silkworm Taoist nodded, a hint of sorrow in his eyes, and said nothing more.

The two were not familiar with each other and stopped talking.

Ning Qing observed the two battlefields. After the Third Generation Source Master and the being in the Ancient Dragon's Lair were revived, an artifact within his body began to slowly awaken.

A deserted tower!

Since entering his Sea of ​​Samsara, this immortal artifact has rarely made any moves. It only trembles slightly when the Gate of Immortality stirs. Otherwise, it remains dormant and shows no abnormalities.

Now, he trembled slightly, and strands of celestial light began to bloom.

"The Great Emperor?" Ning Qing asked cautiously.

The desolate tower did not respond, but Ning Qingyi's intuition told him that the Azure Emperor might really have awakened! "Boom!"

The creatures that emerged from the ancient dragon's lair also went on a killing spree, making people sigh that this ancient dragon's lair was not a treasure land at all, but an extremely dangerous place. Every creature that emerged from it was a killing star, and it became more and more ferocious and terrifying.

On the other side, in the Immortal Transformation Pool, a humanoid red-haired creature rushed to the mountain peak, turning all the accompanying Source Masters and Dragon Seekers into monsters.

"What kind of monster is this? And how can it be contagious?!" people exclaimed in terror.

At this moment, everyone felt a chill run through them from head to toe, utterly silent, not daring to breathe, and utterly unable to imagine that celestial elixir, that dreamlike divine essence.

At the critical moment, the princesses of the ancient kingdoms stopped the group of jade spirits and engaged in a fierce battle.

Ye Fan rushed towards the third-generation Source Master. He used Source Technique, and one pattern after another flew out, trying to awaken the third-generation Source Master, but he failed. It was too ferocious and could not be awakened at all.

"Wow!"

Finally, amidst the churning of corpses and the sea of ​​blood, water splashed in the fairy lake, and a piece of green copper appeared, upon which grew a small blue lotus, swaying gracefully.

At the same time, in the Ningqing Sea, the aura of the desolate tower grew stronger and stronger.

"brush!"

With a flash of light, the little green lotus transformed into a handsome man, who walked step by step ashore from the lake. His gaze swept across the water, and a burst of green light appeared.

The terrifying aura was earth-shattering, making everyone afraid to move.

Fire Kirin, Fire Lin'er, Golden Heavenly Maiden, Phoenix Void Daoist, Ji Zi, Holy Prince, Divine Silkworm Daoist, and other ancient emperor bloodlines and emperor's own children dared not move an inch.

Many contemporary holy rulers and demon clan giants were horrified.

"Qingdi!"

"Ancestors!" Yan Ruyu exclaimed in surprise.

A glint of light flashed in Ning Qing's eyes as she used the "Soldier" secret technique to communicate with the Desolate Tower.

"Great Emperor, Great Emperor..."

The desolate tower did not react, but the Azure Emperor, who had taken the form of the Azure Lotus, suddenly turned his gaze toward them.

"I see..." he sighed softly, then pointed with his hand.

Not far away, the third-generation Source Master and a dozen or so red-haired monsters trembled, trying to escape.

But when the Azure Emperor pointed his finger, a wisp of azure light spilled out, and wherever it passed, a series of peaceful sounds were heard. More than a dozen red-haired creatures were purified, their bodies emitting azure smoke, and all their blood-red fur was burned away and turned to ash!

"Azure Emperor..." The third-generation Source Master roared like a wild beast.

But before this ray of blue light, everything else lost its meaning. However, an even more terrifying change occurred: a humanoid red light shot up from the crown of Yuan Tianshi's head.

"Demon Emperor! How dare you..."

The blood-red figure was filled with shock and rage, but it was all in vain before the Azure Emperor's finger; it turned to ashes in an instant.

The red hair on the body of the third-generation Yuan Tian Master had all disappeared, and the corpse was torn to pieces. A divine pill the size of a fist shot into the sky, more dazzling than the sun, intense and magnificent, with an exceptionally strong yang energy.

This is the Immortal Elixir, born within the body of a Source Celestial Master, nourished by the eternal dragon of the Qinling Mountains, achieving a point of true yang within the yin, transforming into a precious elixir.

"The Elixir of Immortality!"

"Precious Pill!"

Everyone's eyes burned with desire, wishing they could snatch it away immediately, but in front of the Azure Emperor, they dared not move an inch.

With a casual wave of his hand, the precious pill flew into Ning Qingyi's hand right before everyone's eyes.

Ning Qingyi was overjoyed. He had a premonition, but when it actually came true, he couldn't help but feel excited: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Everyone was petrified.

"What did I just see? The Azure Emperor actually gave the elixir to the Little Celestial Venerable."

"Is the Little Celestial Venerable also related to the Azure Emperor's lineage?! His descendants are also involved!"

Only Ye Fan and Yan Ruyu's expressions changed, and they understood something.

The Azure Emperor naturally did not respond, but instead headed towards the ancient dragon's lair.

The creatures on the chariot were shocked and roared, "What do you want to do!"

"boom!"

However, the Demon Emperor only took one step forward without making any attacking move, and the creature, which was more than a foot tall, screamed in agony as its 108 divine rings shattered. Then, its body turned into light and evaporated completely.

Everyone gasped, too afraid to move. What power this was! The aftershock of stomping his foot had wiped out a peerless master.

"boom!"

Suddenly, a monstrous divine light burst forth from the ancient dragon's lair, and everyone's hearts sank, knowing that the peerless being from the ancient dragon's lair had arrived!
An ancient dragon chariot rumbled out of the dragon's lair, and on it was a being radiating divine light. He was the same height as an ordinary person, but he was terrifying and had a sense of power that made people tremble.

"Gods vanish like dust in the Ganges, I am the immortal emperor of the Central Plains," the peerless being declared.

"A lotus blooms under the eternal blue sky." The Azure Emperor spoke calmly, the green copper block hovering silently above his head.

The peerless being coldly said, "It's nothing more than a killing intent from the Azure Emperor. Don't put on airs like an emperor!"

The Azure Emperor stared at him and asked, "The Nine Apertures have been gestating for millions of years before they truly took shape. Reaching this stage means you are favored by Heaven. Are you willing to sever your evil thoughts and leave behind an invincible benevolent heart?"

The peerless being: "Arrogant! If your true form were here, that would be one thing, but do you really think you can turn the world upside down with just a murderous intent?!"

The Azure Emperor was taken aback and sighed. He said nothing, but simply stretched out two fingers and pinched them together. In an instant, he arrived and became majestic.

He made his move, but it was unremarkable, without any special techniques.

The peerless creature was no match for it, and was gradually suppressed, retreating back into the ancient dragon's lair.

The Azure Emperor calmly said, "I have suppressed you for three hundred years, and you have lost all benevolence. A future emperor will come to kill you."

"Damn it! Azure Emperor!" A roar of unparalleled power echoed from the ancient dragon's lair, but it ultimately failed and was completely suppressed.

The Azure Emperor glanced at Yan Ruyu, then at the vast universe, and sighed softly, "A single lotus blooms across the eternal blue sky..."

The voice was ethereal, and everyone saw him transform into a shower of light, scattering across the heavens and earth before disappearing. The green bronze block he carried on his head also slowly flew back to the Immortal Transformation Pool.

As Ning Qingyi was bathed in the rain of light, a strange power surged into the desolate tower.

The world was completely silent; no one uttered a word.

Until a hand reached for the green copper block.

"kill!"

Everyone roared; without a doubt, a real bloody battle was about to begin!
